Lynne Hoggan has thanked her Instagram followers for their support in her first public statement since suffering bleeding to the brain.
The former Wave FM DJ underwent surgery earlier this month after the discovery of two aneurysms.
Her sister-in-law Rachel Hoggan shared the news on the 41-year-old’s Instagram account last Monday.
Radio presenter Robin Galloway, Dundee musician Be Charlotte and Lee Brennan from 90s boyband 911 were among many who sent their best wishes on the post.
On Friday, Lynne shared an update on her recovery on her Instagram page.
She wrote: “Bleed on the brain, two aneurysms, Vasospasms, a stint in intensive care and I’m still going strong.
“It’s certainly not been an easy ride but I’m here to tell the tale and I am so thankful for every bit of support, every message to check in and every comment to wish me well.
“It’s meant the world to me.
“I’m out of hospital.
“Although, yes I am coming out the other end now, recovery is still quite the journey and there’s some big changes and quite a lot to digest at the moment.
“I have the best family & friends and boss who’ve helped me through the most difficult time of my life.
“With continued support I’ll take each day as it comes and eventually be back to some normality.”
